This pamphlet has bepn proparod for the Inrlian and Colonial Exhibi- tion, at the rciuest of the Honorable the Suiierinti^ndant of Education for the Province of tjueboc. It contains a succinct account of the work of the Board of Catholic School Comniissionnors, since its inception to the present time. Never- theless all doouiuents prior to 1850 are comjiletely wanting, owinj,' to a fire, which took place on the 17th February, 1850. At the beginning of the new Minute Book, opened March 1'' 1850, is found the following entry, signed l)y M.W. Dorion, Secretary-Treasurer: " The undersigned, Secretary-Treasurer of the Catholic School Comniis- sionora of the City of Montreal, declares that, on the seventeenth day of February last, the hou>io in which he resided was destroyed by fire, and that among the objects therein destroyed, were the Minute Book of the Commissioners, the account books of fl.e Secretary-Treasurer, the receipts, letters, and other documents belonging, to the said corporation ". The following account of the organization of the Catholic Schools of Montreal shows : 1" A hierarchy in which each employee is under tho control of a chief to whom ho is directly responsible; 2° That eacli employee enjoys perfect liberty of action in his own sphere, a sphere determined by a sjxicial set of rules.

( 10 THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOL HOUSES. THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOL-HOUSES. Tho first duty of the Commissioners is tu provide the municipah'ty with school houses, situated as much as possible, in central localities. If after having chosen a vacant lot, upon which to build a school- liouse, the Commissioners cannot agree with tho pr()priet<)r as to the valueof the land, or if the proprietor refuse to sell, within eight days aft(3r the Commissioners shall have made a domafid on him in writin" the question is decided by arbitrators, named, oue by the Commissioners one, l)y tho proprietor, and a third, by one of the Judges of tlie Superior Court of tho district The decision of tho majority of tho arbitrators is final. Tlie Commissioners cannot take possession of a projx^rty owned by a vestry-board, church, religious or sqhclastic body, coriwration or asso- ciation. The Commissioners are obliged to build school-liouses when necessary " to repair, keep in order, and renew any property of whicli tlioy may be «' possessed ; tlaey should when necessary rent or accept gratuitously " the use of houses or other buildings for scliool-purposes. " "All school-houses must be built according to plans approved of or " furnished by the Sui)orintendent," and according to the rules laid down by the Catholic Committee of the Council of PubUo Instruction, at its meeting on May 25th, 1877. According to these rules tlie extent of tlie ground and buildings should be in proportion to the school population, which is reckoned as 20 per cent, of the number of the ratepayers, who are to send their children to tho school. The size of the class rooms should be calculated to allow 9 square feet of iloor surface for each pupil. The ceiling should not bo less than 10 feethiirh. The regula "ons then determine how the school-house should be ventilated and heated, how the cloak rooms, lavatories, latrines, etc. should be conslmcled. One of the duties of the Commissioners is to appoint permanently or temporarily a manager, to assist them in managing, building, repairing, heating and cleaning the school-houses; in keeping the furniture in good order and in looking after the school i)roperty generally. THE TEACHER. 11 THE TEACHER. To be a teacher it is necessary, according to law, to 1)e the bearer of a certificate obtained from a Normal School or from a Board of Exami- ners. The certificate obtained at a Nurmal Scliool gives tiio bearer a rii;lit to toach in any part of tlio province ; tiiat obtained from a board of E.N:aminers restricts the bearer to tlio district in which the certificate has been obtained. TJiero are three grades of certific^ates : The Elementary School; the Model School; and the Academic. Tlie first gives the right to teach 'in an elementary school; the second, in a model school; tlie third, h; an academy. It is the duty of tlio C/)mmissionors to engage' qualified teachers for the schools under their control; and to dismiss them for incapacity, negligence, insubordination, bad contluct, or immoralitj . Notice of dismissal nnist be given at least two months before the expi- ration of a teacher's engagement ; if not so given, the teacher is considered ro-engaged for another year. A teacher, desiring to sever his connect ion with a board ( >f School Com- missioners, is also obliged to give warning thereof; at least two months before the expiration of his engagement. IV THE SCHOOL-TAX. Ti-^ rate-payers of the city of Montreal, pay for the maintenance of their schools, a tax of two niills on the dollar on the total value of the real-estate. This tax known as the, " City School-Tax " is pavablc by owners of real-estate. A tenant is not oblige.1 lo reimburse the proprietor for any part thereof, unless there be a special clause (o this ofl'ect in the lease. The value of the prr-perty, in each ward, is estimated by two assessors, one a catholic, the other a i)rotestant. In determining the amount to be paid by each rate-payer, four lists or panels are used : On panel number one is inscribed the value of all real-estate belongiuL' oxclu&ivoly Lo calhoiics. 12 THE SCHOOL TAX. to^orinr,'""'"^''- "''"" '' ''""'" "'^ valuoof the real-ostato belonging orporation. or m^orporaU.! companies: to persons who are neSor athoh. nor protostant, or whono religion is unknown; partly tc pr ej tants and part y to oatholi.s ; to persons who have declared in wdng Uk^ . e.n-e that the value of their property should be entered oT "s panel; to connuon.al bouses which have not declared bv their auent or oneof the,r nunnbers, that they desire their proiK^rty placed on pie number one, or on number two; ^ I -uou on panel Panel .unnber four is a list of the proi)erty exempt from taxation Hebrews can have the value of their property carried to panel number one or to nun.ber two by .nakin. a written request to tins effect. As soon as the panels are made out, they are placed in the Clty-Trea- urers othce, and notice thereof is given in at least two French and two EiiKhsh 01 y newspai,ers. Durin;, thirty days the panels are open to the public for inspection and correction, if necessary. ^ The rates collected from property entered on panel number one are bandea to the Catholic Sch..,.l Commissioners ; and, from that on nan d number two are handed to the Protestant School Commissioners The amount of the rates collected from proi>erty entered on panel three divK ed between the two Boards of Commissioners, in p/o >or ion o the catholic and protestant populations of the city. The Commissioners are autbori.e.l to collect from the parents of cliil- dren frequenting their schools a monthly fee, varyin, from twenty- e cents for elementary schools, to four dollars for academies. As the law does not allow of the division of the city into .chool dis- tricts, parents may send their children to the schools of their choi c ein any part of the city. 'imukc. in By different acts of the Quebec Legislature, the Catholic School Com- niissioners were autJiorized to issue debentures, to the amount of fo r hundred housaud dollars, to be used in the purcluiso of land and the construction of school-houses. "- The following table M'iU show the different issues of these debentures and the dates fixed for their redemption. «»onmres, THE SECRETAUY-TREASrWEP.. 13 Dbbentureh issued by the BoARii oi' Cathouc School Commihsioners, MoNTUHAL.— Rate 6 per cent. 1870 Jan. i 1871 July 1 187r.
